Pre-Shampoo Or Pre-Poo: 5 Proven Ingredients For Gorgeous Hair

Have you been hearing your friends and family talk about pre-shampoo? Have you been trying to find a way to improve the condition of your hair? Has this thought been bothering you for some time? If so, you should know that there are natural treatments that may work very well, sometimes even better than hot oil treatments that you can purchase at your local store or online.

What is this treatment that I am referring too, you may ask?

It is called pre-shampooing, or as some ladies like to say “pre-poo.” Pre-poo is simply a truncated version of the word “pre-shampoo”, a type of treatment that has been literally miraculous for those that consistently have dry or damaged hair. No wonder it is has become very popular.

Below are five tips that you can use when choosing the best pre-shampoo hair treatment, which will lead to you having softer and more beautiful hair.

Why Do Pre-Shampoo Treatments?

This type of hair care treatment is done prior to shampooing your hair. Unlike common hot oil treatments, which are typically done after you have washed your hair, this must be done before. The reason that this is done first has to do with the type of products that are used. Not only can pre-shampoo be very effective at improving the appearance of your hair, it can also make it much more healthy.

It will improve the condition of your hair, as well as your hair cuticles, the outermost layer of your hair shaft. By using the right natural products, you can see a dramatic difference in the way that it will look and feel, plus it will be much more manageable.

How Long Do You Keep Pre-Shampoo In Your Hair?

They are typically left in your hair anywhere from 15 minutes to overnight. It is up to you. This gives your hair time to absorb the nutrients delivered by the natural ingredients. Due to the fact that they are all-natural, there is very little chance that you will have a negative reaction. On the other hand, using store-bought products can have negative affects.

This is because many are chemically-based and may cause an adverse reaction on your skin and scalp. Some people prefer using only natural ingredients and that is also what we recommend.

Best Pre-Shampoo Products

There are quite a few natural products that you can use on your hair prior to shampooing that are going to make incredible differences in its appearance and manageability. Some of the natural ingredients that are used include bananas, yogurt, avocados and even honey, but all of this can get very messy.

If you have purchased store-bought products for this purpose before, you have likely used the popular Burt Bees products that include Shea butter and avocado. Other companies will use some type of synthetic collagen, which can also improve the condition of your hair.

However, when it comes to getting the best result, natural oils work the best. Here are the five that we recommend if you really want to experience all of the benefits associated with pre-poo treatments.

Top 5 Pre-Shampoo Oils

At the top of the list for those that are looking for almost instant results, the top five natural products for pre-poo treatments include hemp oil, jojoba oil, grapeseed oils, extra-virgin olive oil and extra-virgin coconut oil. There are subtle differences between the results that you will receive using any of these products.

One of the benefits that all of them possess is that they are very easy to wash out of your hair in comparison to sticky and messy ingredients such as honey and bananas, respectively.

Grapeseed oils is a great pre-shampoo because it has a significant amount of antioxidants, which can be very beneficial when trying to improve the condition of your hair.

Extra-virgin coconut oil is very useful because it can actually penetrate into each and every hair cuticle, providing nutrients and lubrication with conditioning.

However, out of all of them, hemp oil is the absolute best because it contains extremely high levels of what are called ceramides. These are lipid molecules, a type of fatty acid, which is also able to penetrate the cuticle of the hair shaft, depositing the ceramides within. Studies have shown that synthetic ceramides have been used successfully to accomplish the same results, but this will be better for your hair and scalp because it is 100% natural.

You may be tempted to use these after washing your hair, something that you have probably been conditioned to do over the years, as a result of doing hot oil treatments. When it comes to using pre-poo, do so prior to shampooing your hair for best results.

This is something that you can start doing right away. Since the natural ingredients used are devoid of any type of chemical, you can feel confident that you will not be compromising the condition of your scalp, or the appearance of your hair.

In no time at all, by using pre-poo, you should start to see a noticeable difference in the condition and appearance of your hair. By using one or all of these 5 natural oils as a pre-poo treatment for your hair regularly, you may wonder why you had never tried this before.
